Before she left, Yen also had many concerns about her second baby because her child was less than 2 years old. But with careful preparation and the desire for the whole family to experience great moments together, they have decided to let both children come along. The 21-day journey of "traveling in the mountains" of Tra and Yen's family started from Hanoi to Berlin (Germany), and continued to be the Netherlands - Belgium - France - Monaco - Italy - Switzerland - Austria route. - Czech Republic and back to Germany.



The total distance is up to 4,500 km of road, the figure that only hears it makes many people dizzy. The couple plan 6 months in advance, including applying for a visa, making a passport for the child and detailed schedule within a month.
Mr. Tra also made an international driver's license from home, with the price of 200,000 VND.

Two people choose suitable places for their children to admire, feel life like small European villages or special experiences that Vietnam cannot have like Disneyland in France, watching the snow fall between summer in Switzerland, picking strawberries in Germany, watching swans in Czech ... instead of going to check in in big, crowded cities.




During those days, the family tried to let two children sleep in a mountain hut in Annecy (France) when there was no electricity, no wifi. The whole family gathered together around the fireplace, amidst the forest and nature. Initially, Yen was quite worried about the children, but in the end, the memories here are the most unforgettable and impressive. The two babies slept very well in the tent, as they often read in the fairy tales.
“When going from Annecy to Antibes (France), my family chose the road through Verdon - one of the most beautiful canyons in Europe. The gorge is formed by the Verdon River with beautiful turquoise water. The road is really difficult with zigzag curves. Fortunately, the two children are very obedient and do not get car sick to satisfy their parents' wishes, ”said Yen.




Another memory that the whole family impresses is at the famous Keukenhof flower garden (Netherlands). Since it was on the last day of the tulip season, the flowers were all harvested. But it is fortunate because by car, they found the last flower field near Keukenhof that had not been harvested and had photos for life.
“21 days passing through 9 countries has many memorable memories. But the whole family is most excited about the trip to the snowy mountains of Titlis in Switzerland because this is the first time I and Hope and Hip can see snow. It is true that a white snow dream in the middle of the summer comes true, ”recalled Ms Yen.
